Seattle, Washington, United States DESC Full time
Job Description:

We are seeking a highly motivated Mental Health and Housing Specialist to join our team. As a member of our Weekend Services team, you will be responsible for providing crisis intervention services and supporting individuals in achieving their recovery goals.

As a key member of the Mobile Response Team, you will work collaboratively with a multidisciplinary team to provide 24/7 mental and behavioral health services at Health through Housing (HtH) facilities and targeted Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) sites across King County.

The primary goal of the program is to provide in-the-moment crisis behavioral health services and time-limited behavioral health case management via mobile intensive response teams to assist individuals in becoming aware of behavioral health and other community service options.

Your responsibilities will include providing multi-axial assessments, chemical dependency assessments, crisis intervention, stabilization, and meaningful engagement for adults. You will also facilitate recovery groups at housing sites, complete data collection and documentation required of the MRT Project and DESC in a timely manner, and assist residents with voicing their interests and goals.

To be successful in this role, you must have a strong understanding of relevant community resources and methods for accessing them. You should also have experience working with adults who are experiencing or have experienced homelessness, have a mental health and/or co-occurring substance use disorder.

This position requires the ability to obtain Certified Peer Specialist certification from the Washington State Peer Counselor Training Program within 60 days of employment. A strong personal understanding of recovery and resilience, client partnerships, and client choice is essential. Additionally, you must be willing to seek to understand each client's unique circumstances and personal preferences and goals and incorporate them into the crisis response to help the client regain a sense of control.

In terms of qualifications, you should have a lived experience as a consumer of behavioral health services (mental health and/or substance use treatment) or be the parent or legal guardian of a child who has received behavioral health services. You must also be able to meet Washington Department of Health requirements for registration as an Agency Affiliated Counselor (AAC) or any other superseding credential.

A competitive salary of $$64,000 per year is offered for this role, along with a range of benefits including dental, life, long-term disability, medical insurance, employee assistance program, flexible spending account, ORCA card subsidy, paid time off, and retirement plan.

Please note that DESC is committed to diversity in the workplace and promotes equal employment opportunities for all staff members and applicants. Minorities and veterans are encouraged to apply.
